4. Main points of the origins and History of
the English
 British Isles
They have been inhabited by different people for
at least 50,000 years = Celts around 3,000 years ago
 Celtic
Celtic languages were spoken all over europe and
there were many tribes; these languages survive to
the present in wales, scotland and ireland but they are
not consider english.
 Roman Empire
(476) When it collapsed for political power of the
Roman Empire, Latin was spoken in parts of Britain and
the European continent and it exerted a strong
influence on Celtic and Germanic languages

5. “One of the major functions of language is
to indicate who does what to whom (and
where, when, how, and why that occurs)” .
“Languages differ in how they mark these
functions= through endings on the verbs and
nouns or through word order and grammatical
words”.
“The endings in Old English express what
word order and prepositions do in Modern
English. This is one of the major changes
that ocurred between both, a change from
synthetic to analytic”.

6. The settlements and roads of the Romans were
extensive and remained important even after they
left the island in 410.
Latin influence continues through medieval and
renaissance times, not through actual migrations but
through the Catholic Church and intellectual
developments such as Humanism and the Renaissance
 British Isles again
Several Germanic tribes= The Frisians, the Angles,
the Saxons, and possibly the Judes= occupied
the british isles
1066, william of Normandy arrived and defeated
Harold during the Battle of Hastings as a result
french appeared in the history of English.

9. Linguistics aspects
 Linguists distinguish among varities such as
varities of region, social class, and register, or
level of formality,
 The branch of linguistics that is interested in
varities is called sociolinguistics which studies
the language in social contexts
Glossary:
Register it is according formal and level language
according situation (context) determined by
relations speakers
SL it is a variation of language and it is spoken by
educated people, It is prestigious and also it
used in academic writing, grammatical, linguistic
correct and it is not associated with geography

10. NSL it is a variation of language which is not
appropiated
Dialect pronunciation, morphology, vocabulary,
grammar, and semantic that make one group of
speakers different from another group of speakers of
the same language
Accent variation of phonological features such as
pronunciation, tone, intonation, rythm
Slang very informal language for instance idioms
Hence, styles refer to formal style, usually
taught in schools and used by journalists or editors,
often referred to as the standard and Colloquial,
informal style, often used in speech, with slang while
varities refer to regional, variety typical for a region

11. It`s a branch of linguistics which investigates
It`s study of language
the individual and social variation of language
in social contexts such
as social groups or
speech communicatives
It has to do
with the inter-
relationships It has strong
between connections to
language and anthropology
society
It`s concentrates on Scientific discipline researching the
variations arising language that is actual y used by
from social various native speaker or foreigners
factors

12. Register Jargon

Style

formal, depend on the
situation
E.G “a interview for get a
job”
“a football game”

13. External and internal change
There are some changes in the language for
chance or neccesity:
First external changes is related to
language contact or innovations by speakers or
issues of political or social identity in order to
communicate between speakers of different
languages.
Second internal changes is related to
speakers stop using endings and start to rely
on words such as of, for, the, and have. It has
more linguistic aspects .
